On Deformations of Threedimensional Rational Manifolds.
In this short survey, we would like to overview the recent development of the study on Deligne-Malgrange lattices and resolution of turning points for algebraic meromorphic flat bundles. We also explain their relation with wild harmonic bundles. The author hopes that it would be helpful for access to his work on wild harmonic bundles.
Motivated by recent work of Florian Pop, we study the connections between three notions of equivalence of function fields: isomorphism, elementary equivalence, and the condition that each of a pair of fields can be embedded in the other, which we call isogeny. Some of our results are purely geometric: we give an isogeny classification of Severi-Brauer varieties and quadric surfaces. These results are applied to deduce new instances of “elementary equivalence implies isomorphism”: for all genus zero...
